The introduction of his post was an argument of authority.....he isn't an authority. Its his fault he lost his audience by starting out with a fallacy on sentence one. Would you read a wall of text if the first sentence was a fallacy? Say "Listen Sonnyboy, The bible is the word of God because it says so in the bible".....would you really waste your time reading the rest of the post or would you just dismiss the rest of the post as dribble?
If DP wants his post read in their entirety...he needs to stop introducing by saying "Listen Sonny...I'm an authority on the subject"....at least until he establishes himself as such.
his arguments looked pretty good to me, but I've only been a business manager for fifteen years. I could be wrong.
As for his talking down to you, it doesn't bother me. I'm sure you're relieved to have an excuse, however threadbare, to avoid answering a cogent post.
